My wedding anniversary and Mother’s Day both fell on the same day this year — May 11, 2014. I used the double occasion to practice offhand flourishing around the lettering I that learned in this year’s Letters CA class with Carl Rohrs. Both cards were 8.5″ width by 5.5″ high. I used Fiesta Red ink from Private Reserve on speckled Strathmore Artagain 60lb. drawing paper. I used a Brause nib for the larger lettering and pointed pen for the Copperplate lettering, date, and flourishing. I also added a few gold accents with a Sakura Gelly Roll gel pen. If you compare the offhand flourishing of the two pieces closely, you’ll see I used the same shapes in various configurations. They are part of my practiced repertoire. <\/p>\n
